and there are 2 same backgrounds showing. bliss is showing twice.look at it;(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fusera.imagecave.com%2Fdreamland%2Fother%2Fbliss.JPG&hash=fb15464ffaa1a30413ea695f8576befc)

if you think to release it as a theme, i would be a translator for turkish language if you like.all of us are looking forward to it.(but still not sure about the copyrights ::) )

that will be a javascript modification and i am bad at these...all the drop downs i made are from collapse header script u provided with smf...so now if u can direct me how can i do that it will be gr8...i have seen this thing done with message icons here....might be even more cooler if clicking any where outside the menu collapse it.

that looked okey in IE but yes it must work good in ff as well...will do it.

fixed but will still not look good at higher resolutions...i will need to slice the image so it tappers to the bottom on right side...will do that soonand abt translation....i will send you the psd stuff

I just imagine this concept could basicly used for any theme of any operating system it`s possible.

I really liek to see e.g. AMIGA or DOS any linux even bsd or unix could be done.To have a command prompt you could use a small flash with prepared querys(cmd`s) for SMF.e.g. DOSc:\help (SMF help)c:\dir (boardindex?)c:\copy (quote?)

Its a nice idea but I don't think it would be too user friendly. Not everyone is a computer geek. I think it would drive users away from the site.

Very nice. I would change the color of your hyperlinks in the footer. They blend in with the background so you can't see them. White with an underline would look nice.

Is there any particular reason why if I click on the board's name (General Discussion, Big Board, How To, etc) I get to view the board and read the topics, but if I click on the image for that board (the hard drive, the folder) I get the message I have to log in? Looks like permissions aren't set up properly.

Looks like permissions aren't set up properly.

The image links you to unread posts in that board (SMF 1.1 feature), so as you are a guest, it doesn't track what topics you have read so you can't access the section. This is how it would work for any SMF 1.1 theme.

- added and admin option to show messages either as icons (grid view) or normal as linear---------> see demo for icons- Desktop feature... add any amount of html behind main forum--------> demo- Better login screen...now doesnt contain surrounding forum window--------> demo- Errors are corrected..left with one, hopefully bloc will be correcting that now :)- Media center added with WM player look - stats page done :-\

its still not language friendly...some of images, i never thought of linking in from language directory :)some of pages are still left as is...still require code cleaning and validations...will do this next weekbut now i am tired :)...will release tomorrow...plus will give psd files

never saw AMIGA :) but well dos can be done...that "run" idea is very cool... :)

I got it installed and man oh man. Big Props for this one. It's pretty cleaver with it's OS style functionality. The images seem fine to me but I'll know better once I'm not on my laptop. My 27 inch may give me a differernt picture but so far, I really like it. Big up's playa.

One little thing I noticed...within your general discussion, where you have it look like text files icons. There is no space between "by" and the username. So for example it will say "Started bytest1" instead of "Started by test1"

My connection is not the problem, cause I checked e.g. that (http://fomcolians.com/demo/Themes/default/help/index.english.html) page, and it takes more than 8 seconds to load that simple page. For this (http://www.board.mapping-front.de/Themes/default/help/index.german.html) page, he needs only 1 second.I think, you have loaded the stuff into your temp dirs, and because that it's not a problem for you.

by the way, why the custom links are removed form the start menu?and how can i make my threads look like txt files just as in you demo?and why are there no characters set as default? (i mean merlin and others.. nothing seems by default)edit: rover is default but doesnt show up

well, as you see, the errors are related with the theme and i have no other themes and no mods installed and smf is new, gives the errors only when i activate the theme.

something wrong with grid view: when i DEACTIVATE the grid view for threads, they show in grids.. when i ACTIVATE "show messages in grid view" then it viewed as txt files. i think a very little code mistake :)

my suggestions are still alive.. lolif you can make the windows movable, that would be great and start menu should collapse when we mouse click on anywhere of the forum out of start menu.. (wouldnt be really good? )

also background problem is still the same. (blue empty band at the right side)

God, I cant wait to see this on 1.0.5. I have it on my test 1.1 beta site, but my main site is 1.0.5 cause it has so many packages, etc. Im about to pee my pants. Hurry! If you make it within 1 week, I'll paypal you $20.00

from Oldiesmann modification above i figured its xperience.eng.php that is the problem...well if i got that right...i think its better to simply remove it ...try this one and see if errors occur,just moved all language strings to settings.eng.php, thats the only thing i could figure out... i couldn't test it since i have no errors in my log to check for :-\...

note: i know we want too much things :D

grid was for icons (grid view) (linear view) errr...oky i think i got that wrong :P changed to "Show the messages as icons"

i found a drag script but i wont work for FF...searching for morei will ask unknown abt that menu collapsing thing...but 1st i think its error thing to get rid of :)

no need for that :)...will get back today if things go fine for me i will give 1.0.5 at this same time tomorrow...i dont think it will take more than few hours.

thanks a lot and i think scs is right...i dont think i will be able to give final one early...not only becoz it requires more stuff to work on but also the time factor...my exams are nearing and its now getting tough for me to find more spare time... :(

Congrats, no errors in logs, no errors in usage :)improved wellthere are still some little things need to be corrected i think, like the background thingy.when all the windows are closed by clicking the X on the top right corner, bliss background closes too (in firefox) and all the background comes up blue. ( no problemwith internet explorer)this may cause violation of copyrights as copyright information is minimized too

i also wander why did you remove the half of the bliss and didnt put all the picture as background.

One thing I have a question about...the alignment of the categories on the main page are not lining up right. Whenever I have an odd number of forums under a category, the alignment will be wrong, allowing the items in the left column to take up most of the room of the table and barely allowing any room for items in the right column. This happens in both IE and Firefox no matter what resolution I am using.

glad thats over :)background is 1024 pix and will cause problems at high resolutions...i cant find a high resolution bliss pic...can u pm me one.

copyright violation...no its not... when main window is minimized what u can see? nothing except background or 7/8 shouts...every thing is done in main forum window...all mods will come in there all custom actions if u make will go in there...so nothing can be done unless main window is displayed and copyright will come along with it.

i will try to do some thing with this. actually i am into my exams these days so i cant give more time to this. the rc1 is also done with just compare/replace. any way i think i can improve this FEATURE a bit :)

OK.. I have not read this whole thread, but I thought I'd make a few comments...

First of all, I love it. You've done a great job on the feel/design.

now for the critique...

For some reason, the shoutbox seems to pop-up occasionally, even though I closed it. (?)

One other thing you might want to add for a real windows-like feel is "moveable windows"There are a couple of scripts out there to do this (I was working with them when I tried to do a graphical linux theme for mambo/smf combined...)

shoutbox works fine for me...i will check this again...thanks

i am searching for script that will store the dragged location in a cookie. obviously moving windows will do no good if they stick back to their original location when page is refreshed. one i found didnt work in ff...still doing lazy seraching :)

This themes great but you might want to add the extra bits like silver instead of blue menu option

well i am busy with my exams till 27 december...i am limiting my self to just visit these forum :) cant say when i will do more things with this theme. but yes ur idea is good, why i didnt think of it myself.

:)vista looks very good...the only problem i see is the forumup.gif needs to be changed in both.http://forums.mcetechzone.com//Themes/XP/images/forumup.gifexcellent work dudeits very nice to see full whole sites using it :)

First of all, i'd like to say that this theme is the awesomest thing i've ever seen :D

Second, any news on that higher resolution Bliss pic? About 30% of my traffic is at 1280x1024. I'd love to give all the office workers the option to camouflage their time-wasting behaviour with your theme, but can't until this gets sorted.

Please note the author still has not released a version for 1.1 rc 2,so please be patient.

Sorry, but it appears as everyone has been patient. The author of this theme has said that they would be working on getting 1.1 RC 2 ready and if you go back on this thread and view the date that they said this, you will see it was January 2006.

It is now June 2006, so we have been patient for 6 months. I have been awaiting the release of the 1.1 RC 2 version of this theme anxiously like everyone else. But 6 months! That is way to long.

By the time that the 1.1 RC2 version is released, there will be a new SMF version. Also, this theme looks like it is quite popular, so I'm sure that there are many others that, like me, are waiting for the revision.

Isn't there anyone out there that has PHP coding skills that could take a look at this and get it 1.1 RC2 compatible?

[EDITED POST]I just took a look at the author's Profile on this forum, and he hasn't been active on this forum since Feb 2006. So it looks like we might be on our own with getting this theme 1.1 RC 2 compatible. If I knew PHP, I would do it in a second. Please, there has to be someone out there that has this kind of knowledge and could help us out.

This theme is awesome looking. It seems to be the ultimate in "no really, I'm working, this is just XP, I'm not surfing forums again!" However, I'm currently running RC2 so hopefully the conversion can be made by the OP.

Very cool theme.. very cool. 8)

I agree.

Like I said, there is no question that there is demand for this update. What troubles me, is this...when you view the author's profile on this forum:

However, I tried installing the latest version of Ultimate Shoutbox (1.37) and I get the same message as above "Your session timed out while posting. Go back and try again".

The shoutbox appears almost normal in the template but there is no box to type anything in. When taking you to the shout.template.php file...there is a box to "shout" to, but that's when you get the error.

Ok, the issues with the Shoutbox are definately with the theme itself. I'm fairly confident it has something to do with the session settings with this theme. I do not know PHP. The shoutbox has it's own section in this theme and the changes probably aren't compabitle anymore with either 1.0.7/1.1 RC2 or with the latest version of the module itself.

I normally wouldn't port anything without permission but I don't see any possible way of contacting 061, and he did state that it is open to use and modify as long as it is done for SMF, so I decided to port it.

This is the most confusing theme I've ever tried modding... even worse than AA New Damage... I found the images spot... but I need to add an Index button... however I can't find where the image location and link stuff thingys are located.

Great Colour themes. I've just tried to intall the red one on my forum http://ccgi.supernova23.plus.com/forum/index.php . it worked but when you click through to the actual forum itself the colours refer back to the default....why is this?
